Provident Savings Bank in the 3100 block of Greenmount Avenue was robbed by three armed men early Friday afternoon.
One suspect pointed a .22 cal sawed-off rifle at the bank manager while he ordered the four employees and two customers in the bank at that time to lie down on the floor. The other two suspects leaped over the counter and ransacked the teller's cages, then stuffed an undisclosed amount of cash into two white pillowcases.
The three suspects then ran eastward along the alley on the north side the bank where they dropped the rifle. They were lost from sight.
No injuries or arrests have been reported.

Writing Assignment 2 Post 3 Interview
As summer is about to approach with in the next few months Heather Schreiber tells us how she goes to Ocean City every July/August with friends and family to spend one whole week at the beach.
"I'm always excited to go to Ocean City every year with everyone because it's always my favorite part of summer," said Schreiber, 22, a Physical Therapy Tech in Calvert County Maryland. "I love laying out soaking up the sun with my feet in the sand during the day and then going out to eat and to the bars at night."
Heather always has to go to the Boardwalk while she is in Ocean City because she likes all the different shops that she can go shopping in. Her favorite part of the Boardwalk though is all the different types of food she loves. She gets Thrashers French Fries, Fishers Popcorn, Dumser’s Ice Cream, and funnel cakes whenever she goes to the Boardwalk.
"My favorite is the popcorn, no the Thrashers, no the ice cream, well really I love them all I can't just choose one," Schreiber said.
There are many other beaches or other places to go in the world, your vacation spots are endless.

Writing Assignment 1 Post 2
Facebook goes back to old policies after millions of users complained about who owns the rights to their pictures, videos, and personal information that they share on the social networking website.
People post their lives on their Facebook page. They post pictures of their families, friends, pets, events, and parties. Some people even post their address, their email address, their screen name, their job, and their telephone number on their page. Other people post videos that they took of their friends doing stupid things, or of sporting events they went to, or concerts they attended. Personally I think some people put up way to information on their page about their personal life.
Yes I think it is wrong for Facebook to claim that your pictures that you post on Facebook are theirs even after your delete your page, because you don’t want them to sell your pictures to someone else. But how is Facebook going to stop other people from coping and pasting your picture for your Facebook page and doing what they want with it. Yes you can manage who can and cannot see you page, but that doesn’t always stop other people from finding others ways to find your information. A person who is friends with someone else who is your friend on Facebook can show them your page so they can get the information that they want. Or even hackers can hack into your page to get your information or even mess up your Facebook page.
I also think it is wrong that Facebook has your information forever even after your delete your Facebook page. I think once you decide to delete your Facebook page that everything goes with it including your pictures and information that you posted.
Basically it comes down to one thing, if you don’t want people knowing all your information, or seeing your pictures don’t post it!

Facebook goes back to old policies after millions of users complained about who owns the rights to their pictures, videos, and personal information that they share on the social networking website.
A couple of weeks ago Facebook changed their user policies that went unnoticed until Sunday when a popular blog, Consumerist.com, wrote a post titling it “Facebook’s New Terms Of Service: ‘We Can Do Anything We Want With Your Content. Forever.”
This sent the 175 users of Facebook in an uproar. Some users deleted their Facebook page, other users created protest groups on Facebook, “saying the new terms grant the site the ability to control their information forever, even after they cancel their accounts.”
The following Wednesday, after thousands of people complained, when users logged onto their Facebook accounts they were greeted with a messages saying they had returned to their old polices while the issues were being resolved.
“On Facebook, people own their information and control who they share it with,” Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s founder said. Facebook needs a license to help you share information with other people, but doesn’t claim to own your information.
